If the G with a dot above is a space then the first two words of the
text are: normal sinus
Is that correct?

Argh, when looking a your attachment again I noticed that there are
_two_ pictures, the last one displaying the correct text.
Anyway the text I decoded is correct. What you see in the first text
are the unicode charaters resulting from adding 255 or 0x100 to the
value of the ANSI characters.
For example the first garbled character is as space chr(32). A garbled
32 corresponds to 0x20 + 0x100 = 0x120. Look it up in
....Accessories->System Tools->Character Table and confirm that it is a
capital letter G With Dot Above.
Can you post a small turnkey demo showing the effect you describe and
let us know the dbase version and Windows version?
